The Flowchart is the most popular tool among the 7 QC tools. Today's topic is the 5 steps of how to make a flowchart. Also try the free Flowchart template from the link in this video’s description. In the Improve Phase, you made a high level process map using a Value Stream Map. Next, you can use a Flowchart for designing more detailed processes of your new business flow. You can also use a Flowchart for many situations such as describing current detailed processes, using it as an SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) and so on. Here are the 5 steps of Flowcharting: 1) Consider the purpose of your Flowchart. 2) Consider the beginning and end points of your target process. 3) Decide the number of swim lanes. 4) Break down your process and draw all process shapes and text. 5) Lastly, lay out all shapes’ positions and arrows, then it will be complete. I’ll explain about these steps in the Excel template.
